Hello Mandla 🇿🇦

I’m so sorry that you have had an amputation. I pray that it heals completely.
This is an international site, so I don’t think that there is much chance of purchasing a prosthetic limb on this site. Every prosthetic limb is measured only for the person needing it, as size of limbs will be different.

Please join Diabetes South Africa and let them guide you. You will have more of a chance on the South African site to obtain derails if where you should start.

I see you live in Richard’s Bay. Is there not a government hospital there that can assist you with a prosthetic. There should be a prosthetic department attached to the hospital.

If not, I do know that Wentworth Hospital in Durban has an excellent Prosthetic Department. I will give you the telephone numbers in order for you to check whether you will be allowed to go to Wentworth Hospital. Some Government Departments insist on living in the area of the hospital.

I have to type out the numerals of the alphabet , as this site does not allow numerals to be displayed.
Main phone number : zero three one four six zero five zero zero zero
Orthotic and Prosthetic Services : zero three one four six zero five three three one.

I have added you to my prayer list 🙏7

Ngiyaxolisa kakhulu ngokuthi uye wanqunywa isitho. Ngithandazela ukuthi ilulame ngokuphelele.
Lena isayithi yamazwe ngamazwe, ngakho-ke angicabangi ukuthi maningi amathuba okuthenga isitho sokufakelwa kule sayithi. Zonke izitho zokufakelwa zikalwa kuphela umuntu ozidingayo, njengoba ubukhulu bezitho zomzimba buzohluka.

Sicela ujoyine i-Diabetes South Africa futhi ubavumele bakuqondise. Uzoba nethuba eliningi esizeni saseNingizimu Afrika ukuze uthole izindawo ongase ube nazo uma kufanele uqale kuphi.

Ngiyabona uhlala eRichard’s Bay. Asikho yini isibhedlela sikahulumeni lapho esingakusiza ngohlelo lokufakelwa. Kufanele kube nomnyango wokufakelwa oxhunywe esibhedlela.

Uma kungenjalo, ngiyazi ukuthi iSibhedlela iWentworth eThekwini sinomnyango osezingeni eliphezulu wokufakelwa kwezitho. Ngizokunikeza izinombolo zocingo ukuze uhlole ukuthi uzovunyelwa yini ukuya esibhedlela saseWentworth. Eminye iMinyango kaHulumeni iphikelela ngokuhlala endaweni yesibhedlela.

Kufanele ngithayiphe izinombolo zezinhlamvu , njengoba le sayithi ingavumeli izinombolo ukuthi ziboniswe.
Inombolo yocingo eyinhloko : ziro three one four six zero five zero ziro
Izinkonzo Ze-Orthotic kanye Nezokufakelwa : ziro ezintathu eyodwa ezine isithupha zero ezinhlanu ezintathu ezintathu eyodwa.

Ngikwengezile ohlwini lwami lomkhuleko 🙏

Hello Mandla 🇿🇦

You need to go to your nearest government hospital and attend the Orthotics Department for you to be measured for a prosthetic limb.

I have given you details of Wentworth Hospital but I think that you will be out of their area, but telephone to get some guidance.

Also, please join DIABETES SOUTH AFRICA. They will be in a better position to guide you than this site which is an international site.

I wish you well and I have added you to my prayer list. Please continue to keep your diabetes in control to avoid further complications.
I have added you to my prayer list 🙏🇿🇦
